Pre-Conference Seminars

We are pleased to offer two pre-conference seminars on Friday, July 11, 2014. Chose either Kalen Delaney's "What the Hekaton!?" or Stacia Misner's "SSRS Rookie to Rockstar!". Each pre-con is a full day of training available for purchase via the Eventbrite links below.

Pre-Con 1:Kalen Delaney - What the Hekaton!?

What:What the Hekaton!? A Whole Day on a Whole New Way to Think About Data Management. SQL Server Hekaton, Microsoft’s new In-Memory table technology being shipped as part of SQL Server 2014, will completely change the way you think about data management. As a DBA, you’ll need to analyze your memory and storage needs completely differently. All Hekaton data is always stored in memory, and the data stored on disk is basically just a REDO log used to regenerate the contents of your memory-optimized tables. In this full-day seminar, Kalen Delaney (a SQL Server MVP for over 20 years) will show you the in-memory architecture for your Hekaton data and indexes, and discuss what gets written to disk during checkpoints, as well as what gets logged. She will explain how the recovery process recreates your Hekaton tables. Finally, she’ll go into detail on just what it is that makes Hekaton so much FASTER!
